--- Comment #32 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Unicode has that "non-breaking" property only set to some of its different
spaces. But in reality, different typographic rules of countries/bodies/times,
as noted, may require full repertoire of spaces of different width and
properties (fixed/widening/shortening) to be breaking *and* non-breaking
variants. ODF could introduce a special internal "non-breaking" character
property applicable to any space character, which would override normal Unicode
algorithm; that would allow for adding shortcuts for such combos. Without that,
any "fix" like the one asked here by many would only fix things for vocal
minority, and break things for most users who naturally don't participate in
discussion here, because - well, it just works for them, and they don't look
for this bug ;-)

Note that what I propose would require an ODF extension.
